I don't tattoo just to get the money . I tattooed to get my art out there . I consider it as it's just like an art painting on the wall , but it's on .
We got um four of us , five of us including me , but we're lucky to have like real L a natives that are just here playing their trade and putting the best art they can on their clients . And the art of the tattoo isn't just a man's world . Head over to Long Beach for some female artistry from the one and only carry barber and a shop that's earned the distinctive title .
It's been running all through both wars and we're very proud of our location . All the tattoo shops you used to see had every inch as much as they could cover , filled in tattoo flesh . And it was called Les because when you'd walk in , it was like bam flesh .
I mean , I'm kind of used to it now , already initiated nine academies back in Europe . We train tattoo artists and we train designers . If a student is super talented , we give them internships for the students that uh finishes the courses with a high grade .
Come on , I've been tattooing for 34 years now . Skin design tattoo has been around for 24 years . We're kind of like rooted , you know , in the tattoo culture .
